2nd hand van

Postby metalmonkey » Wed Feb 13, 2008 5:52 pm

Hi I'm looking for a battered van similar to a renault express that will last me a year as we're starting to build and I just want an old thing to transport stuff in...are there any garages around that sell used vans

thanks

Someone was selling a Citroen C15 van in Estepa just before Xmas, 1500€ with aircon and not that battered either! Not sure if it's still available...of any interest?

Hi

I am in contact with our local garages but vans are hard to come by here, farmers run them into the ground then buy a new one, hence shortage of battered old van for me ....but I´m still looking and have a ´sniff´of one nearby

thanks

shame really, i sold an old and battered van a few months ago for €200 - it was advertised on here for ages...i even put a new clutch in it a few weeks before, so i was actually out of pocket.
